Black diamond Castle Mountain, BC
Funk's Bowl exit drops 149 vertical feet over 301 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 30°, Funk's Bowl exit gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 5,940 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
